U.S. Posts The Biggest Monthly Budget Deficit In American History
Trump railed against debt during his campaign, vowed to balance budget.
February’s federal budget deficit was the largest on record, according to figures released by the Treasury Department on Friday. President Donald Trump promised during his campaign that he would balance the budget in eight years.
The total debt surpassed $22 trillion for the first time ever in February — $2 trillion higher than when Trump took office.
There is the problem of double jeopardy that is being argued by Manafort’s lawyers in the NY courts, hoping that a presidential pardon on federal convictions would cover state also. After 150 years of decided law, it has come up in the Supreme Court too. If the law is changed, and it could with a conservative court now wanting to change it, those indictments made by Mueller could be a “get out of jail free card” with any pardon. If Mueller doesn’t indict, then any indictments made by the states can not be overturned by presidential pardon.
New York and others, including federal, yep, tax frauds could well justify the Al Capone suite if they reopen Alcatraz as a prison instead of NPS site.
Barr has a shocking history of ‘fixing’ things for Republicans. This is the usual bluff and bluster the lying thru its teeth Trump admin puts up against everything. GOP is slow rolling a full release of the Mueller Report … nothing new in Republican obstruction.
how is Barr’s protection not, in itself, obstruction of justice? also, his son is one of Thug’s lawyers. also son of “Justice” Kennedy loaning Thug Deutche Bank money & Kennedy Sr. retiring so Kavanaugh (who paid Kavanaugh’s debt?) could get a spot on the Supreme Court/Corp/Coup, also unelected Kushner Duo trading ill-got top secret clearance for access/business advantage also

How much of the Report do you think Barr’s read so far? As much as one percent? (And, for that matter, how much did he UNDERSTAND………)

And Agent Orange’s bunch of criminals STILL have MORE indictments, convictions and prison sentences then ANY other “administration” in history.

They got Capone on income taxes – maybe that will be the magic investigation.

At some point you are going to have to admit you were wro…..eh….wrah….come on, you can say it. WRONG!

Now the Trump Junta wants to tell news producers who they may or may not interview.
Winning, yet? The US just posted its largest budget deficit on record thanks to Trump.

All too true, but it’s loss for us that crave honorable leadership for our nation.
